1 californiawinning.com SANTA ANITA RACE COURSE (The Great Race Place) Friday, March 1, 2019 NEW SUBSCRIBERS: YOU WILL RECEIVE SIX CALENDAR WEEKS OF SELECTIONS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL FOUR WEEKS, FOR A MERE $20 SEE BELOW ON HOW TO SUBSCRIBE Message Board to My Subscribers So far, and the concept is very new, I have only favorable comments on the Ultimate Pick of the Day and the Penultimate Pick of the Day The only reason I shied away from that in the past is, the fear that someone would decry an incorrect pick, saying I lost my house on that, you $%%^^ &*((! lol..but it dawned on me that all of you are far too sophisticated to bet the house, the car, etc., and you also realize that the art of handicapping is just that, an art, clearly not a science Post Time today is 1:00 PM PT, 4:00 PM ET Mini Happy New Year Handicapping Tips *** wring everything you can out of your DRF, Racing Digest, Race Lens etc., look at everything, every nuance, there could be a clue lurking there don t be formulistic and rely on multiple angles, not just one

2 *** don t be overly concerned about slow workout times, as some trainers don t push it until race time do pay attention to very recent very fast workouts, they provide a great insight as to the race day condition of the horse Horsecallany It is said by the horse whisperers that horses probably do not recognize their name, as dogs do. However, they can routinely be trained to come when called, and that is likely a product of the fact they do recognize familiar faces and voices. Recent studies show that horses recognize human emotions by the person s countenance. Friday, March 1, 2019 Santa Anita Race Course FOR AMUSEMENT---AND NOT BEMUSEMENT---ONLY!!! (Of course, these are recommendations only, and there are no guarantees in this sport, but that is what generates its mystique. And so, please follow your own heart and mind, considering me as a mere advisor, when making your selections. In any event, I do wish you all the best in your quest to predict the future, because it ain t easy. And remember, horses, just like us, have aches and pains, headaches, suffer fatigue, etc. Try not to get mad at me, I usually have excellent days, occasionally, not-so-excellent days: with all of the informative past performance data we handicappers have in front of us, we have no idea how a particular horse feels at race time. (By way of example, maybe that 50/1 colt is in a big hurry because he has a hot filly waiting for him back at the barn so please stick with me if there are a few speed-bumps along the way.) This analysis is prepared under the reasonable assumption that (i) all turf races will be run on a firm turf track, and (ii) all dirt races will be run on a track graded fast. Should different conditions exist at post time for a given race, please temper these selections with your own best judgment in light of less-than-ideal conditions. Please see my Handicapping Tips No. 6, What If It Rains on Race Day?, in this regard Note: Please keep in mind that I call them as I see them and do not set the odds, nor do I even look at the M/L before I conduct my comprehensive analysis of each race I just select the horses who I believe are the most likely to come in first, second and third, respectively however, as we all know, a horse is a horse, of course, of course on any given day. Additional Note: There is no warranty, express, implied, legal, moral, or otherwise with respect to these graded selections, they are for amusement only. There is likewise no

3 warranty, express, implied, legal, moral, or otherwise, for any failure on my part to transmit any daily analysis to you: your sole remedy in the unlikely event that happens is that you will receive a credit for one day s analysis and you will receive the next racing day s analysis free of charge. All purchases are final, and thank you. Incidentally, did you know: the average career of an NFL running back is a mere 2.57 years, and the average number of total career races for a thoroughbred is a mere eighteen races? Did you know: while thoroughbred horses tend to max out at about 40 m.p.h., quarter horses in very short races have been clocked at 55 m.p.h For only $2 for a daily card, or $20 for a thirty calendar-day subscription, you can have my full card delivered to your electronic mail inbox for each racing day for a calendar month. Even if you prefer your selections to mine, look at it this way: I provide a rather elegant summary, in one sentence, of all of the relevant information from the past performances of three contestants, the three horses whom most would agree are the contenders just look after Today s Free Selections below to see how to order, and thank you THE FOLLOWING ARE TODAY S FREE SELECTIONS : Races 1-2 (see below) Note- for newcomers: here is the definition of a Likeable Longshot : it is a horse whom we do not expect to win or place in the contest, however, his/her payoff will be huge (usually, 10/1 or better) and there is some other mitigating factor that suggests that a nominal bet could payoff really nicely. Other mitigating factors which suggest you make a nominal (by your definition) win/place bet on this longshot might include one of more of the following: the horse has a high percentage of winning at race distance, he or she carries a great jockey, or carries a good jockey with a significant weight allowance, or, the horse comes out fourth in your ranking of the top three, and so on and so on. Sometimes it is almost visceral, preternatural even I am sure you get the idea now don t bet the house but it makes an excellent beer money, as in Bud Light, bet! Note: Likeable Longshots are not available in this free version of californiawinning.com s analysis. To view Likeable Longshots please go to

SUBSCRIBE NOW AT TODAY S FULL RACE CARD ON THIS SITE ULTIMATE PICK OF THE DAY: PENULTIMATE PICK OF THE DAY: RACE 1: Well-rested Gain Ground has ten turf races under his irons, for the most part route distances, and he hit the board in eight of ten of those, and he is one of seven entries to have posted a win on the grass, winning once at Del Mar at a mile and one-sixteenth, today he carries turf master Desormeaux, which significantly enhances his chances. Quick Finish benefits from class relief, he won a turf sprint in two tries at such, his only two turf races, his works are strong, albeit on the main track, and top jockey Dan Dyke returns to his irons today. Mr. Gee s Journey, an AE, gets class relief, he has hit the board in two of three turf races, both routes, he is well-rested and trained by the Baffert of the North. In the event that Mr. Gee s Journey fails to make the cut, then my third choice becomes Bucky s Pick, who is one of

5 two entries to have posted a grass win at race distance ( RD )(see also Silver Summer), as his two turf wins came at RD, and both came on the downhill here, he has a top trainer and one of our top five jockeys is his captain, he could surprise all. RACE 2: Very lightly raced Leveler has never missed the board in four races n the main track, the mare just missed a win at RD by a neck at Del Mar two years ago, recent works are very strong, an indication that whatever condition kept her idle for 21 months has disappeared (e.g., thoroughbreds routinely deal with blood pressure issues, like us), her rider/trainer duo is top notch too. Exuberance is one of three entries to have posted a win at RD (see also Sauce on Side and Harmony Victory), her win came here and she placed twice as well in three efforts at RD, plus she hit the board in five of six races here, connections are good and she is a serious threat. Speaking of Dulce Ride, she has never missed the board here, in three tries including a show finish at RD last time out with this top jockey aboard, she finished a mere neck behind Exuberance last time out and beat Exuberance by a nose in a prior sprint here, look for her to battle.
